The Lady with the Rose Hospital is a unique, original and lively place, which became a landmark of Walloon heritage. The spirit of this old building will certainly not leave you indifferent!

A combination of history

A wonderful proof of love started the hospital's history. In 1242, Alix de Rosoit founded this institution in memory of the recent tragic death of her husband. It was to be devoted to charity and love of neighbour. Over the centuries, nuns have dedicated their life to the service of the poor.

The pharmacy.

Two wards.
